The return of the ’90s icons series begins on Paramount + Streaming Channel
Anyone who lived through the ’90s will have a lot of associations with angry noises and bored idiots: “Beavis and Butt-Head” was an absolute pop culture phenomenon in that decade.
The return of the series, which ran with great success on MTV from 1993 to 1996, was announced several times, starting August 4, it’s time: new episodes will begin on US streaming service Paramount+ (available in Austria from December). Show Metalheads in new adventures. Back in June, the tape released “Beavis and Butt-Head-Do-Universe,” which follows the two companions on an unexpected space adventure – and portrays them not only as cynical teens but also as adults.

But I didn’t want to compete. “

The fact that the somewhat outdated “slacker” and metal-obsessed type is somewhat outdated – perhaps as a counterbalance to the highly refined types of influencers – can be seen again in demand several times at the moment. Metalhead Eddie Monson, performed by Joseph Quinn, also turned out to be a fan favorite in the final season of “Stranger Things.”
